ABSTRACT The International Digital Assets Platform (IDAP) is the first self-contained ecosystem for the cryptocurrencies derivatives trading market. Contained within this ecosystem are the IDAP Exchange, the IDAP Desktop App with advanced trading tools and most importantly, crypto derivatives instruments by IDAP for trading and investment. By bringing together individuals and institutions in need of risk management or with an eye at profit via risk acceptance, our goal is to become the most diverse crypto derivatives marketplace for buyers and sellers. The volatility of the current crypto market has made it imperative that the issue of risk management and hedging options for crypto assets be addressed without delay. Traders being free to take long and short positions and to bet in both the bull and bear run of the market, thus being able to diversify and optimise their portfolio performance, are all made possible by the introduction of a highly diverse and wide range of multiple crypto bas...

1 BACKGROUND 1.1 Current Crypto Market Offerings for Traders We at IDAP asked ourselves a basic, fundamental question about the crypto trading market as it exists today: What does it offer to traders? 1.1.1 The Lack of Trading Choices A cursory glance into the current crypto trading market revealed a lack of offerings for trading and little to no freedom to the trader to take a position that stems from a robust strategy utilising diversified financial instruments, based off of advanced tools that streamline the process. With this in mind, we decided to centre our core philosophy on incorporating the advantages of legacy trading offerings into the current cryptocurrency market via the introduction of crypto derivatives instruments and powerful trading tools. Exchanges within the present crypto trading ecosystem fall short on both trading instruments offered on their platforms as well as operating efficiency in the event of rapid market fluctuations. The norm for exchanges is t...

trading to help diversify their portfolios, but also enable them to do this in a streamlined fashion by delivering advanced tools for better and simplified trading, thereby boosting overall efficiency of our platform. The opportunity to increase choices for crypto traders will translate into organic market growth and happier customers. 1.1.3 Potential for Growth of Cryptocurrency Market Despite falling to almost half its value after hitting the $800 billion mark at the turn of last year, the crypto market never lost its potential to scale new heights. As of now, industry-wide consensus predicts that the market capitalisation for cryptocurrencies will hit a trillion dollars, sooner than later. By proffering a high degree of freedom to its traders and investors, the market can fuel this growth by leaps and strides. Making it easy to take short or long positions, helping expose traditional investors to cryptos via derivatives trading and overall fostering risk mitigation by introducing derived financial inst...

1.2 Challenges of the Existing Crypto Trading Ecosystem An assessment of the existing trade exchanges in the crypto market sheds light on the challenges they face at the moment. A market’s success is closely tied to the exchanges that constitute its ecosystem. In case of cryptocurrencies, there are certain challenges that upon resolution will accelerate the growth of the trading market and redefine user experience when it comes to crypto trading. 1.2.1 Lack of Mature Trading Systems The trading systems presently available in the crypto landscape are nowhere close to their traditional counterparts. The design philosophy of most platforms is a reflection of the lack of choices available to traders; the prominent form of trading is Spot trading. In traditional markets, where numerous and varied types of financial instruments exist, trading platforms have evolved to support complex operations, automation of certain aspects, sanity in visualisation of different kinds of data, all tied together with la...

1.2.3 Poor Customer Support Crypto exchanges are infamous for poor customer support. Even the established ones have been unable to perfect the art of dealing with customer s’ problems swiftly and efficiently. Customers find themselves facing challenges more often than not and reaching through to get resolution is time consuming and frustrating. FAQs and guides only do so much to placate a customer needing a solution to problems and round the clock customer care services are unsatisfactory as they remain overwhelmed by the volume of users needing resolution. White paper v1.1 | www.idap.io 7 ...

2 IDAP ECOSYSTEM - THE SOLUTION The abovementioned issues affect customers on various levels and in order to shift the industry normal towards better user experience and greater freedom of choices, innovation is required. IDAP is introducing diversified trading and investment instruments with an institutional grade exchange platform, complete with advanced trading tools, dedicated 24/7 customer support and top-level security. Borrowing from the merits of legacy trading systems and coupling them with all the possibilities lent by the crypto trading environment, we are not merely disrupting the ecosystem of exchanges, but also creating a new way to approach crypto trading and investment. Unlike most of the current exchange teams that majorly comprise of techies with limited exposure to financial markets, the IDAP team and advisors have diverse exposure, comprising of highly successful traders, technocrats and successful entrepreneurs. Our team possesses hands-on experience of trading wi...
